If you're an AX developer, I have some good news: the Dynamics AX 2009 developer documentation on MSDN is now enabled for community content (aka wiki). So now you can post comments, code samples, bug reports, kudos and brickbats on any particular topic...

The Microsoft Dynamics AX TechNet library has been updated so that it now includes the Community Content feature (aka "wiki"). On each page, you’ll now see a Community Content section where anyone can post comments, tips and tricks, and other information...

Recently, I was cleaning out my e-mail and came across a document that contains keyboard shortcuts for AX 2009. I found these shortcuts so handy for my own use, I felt compelled to share. To give credit where it’s due, this document was created by David...

Recently, I had a need to loop through the Forms node in the AOT and find any form that had a particular property value. I've seen a lot of examples that show you how to locate nodes in the AOT by name, but not by a property value. So I thought I would...

One of the SDETs on our team recently made me aware of a somewhat unintuitive error message that you might receive when sending a message to your AX installation using AIF. In the inbound XML message, the elements must be in alphabetical order. If they...

In Dynamics AX 4.0, there are two AIF actions that support retrieving data from an external system: QueryEntityKeys and QueryDocument . If a request message contains the QueryEntityKeys action, AX returns one ore more entity keys that match the query...

I have posted some AIF code samples on the MSDN Code Gallery that demonstrate calling a service class from X++.

I thought I knew all the resources that existed for Dynamics AX development and now I come to find out there's one heretofore unknown to me. That is the Dynamics AX dev group on Yahoo which you can get via this link: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group...

You may have seen my post about the Dynamics AX developer center on MSDN but even more exciting news is that I have recently become responsible for its content.
At first, I was drunk with power. But I’m over it now and would like to say that if...

If you have ever thought to yourself, "Gee, I sure wish I had a list of all the reports in my AX installation," then your wait is over.
Now you can use this handy report to generate a list all of the reports in your AX 2009 installation. After you...

Not me! Within our very own company we have someone that blogs regularly about help files and formats. If you write or integrate content with Dynamics AX help, this could be a handy resource.

In a previous post, I listed the PartnerSource and CustomerSource links to the AIF white papers. The link to the white paper about configuring AIF for data exchange was incorrect, so here are the correct links:

It’s hard to believe, but sometimes things don’t work as expected when integrating external systems with AX. When an error occurs during data exchange using AIF, the caller sees a generic “request failed” error. You can see the detailed error message...

SCM in Dynamics AX is not my area of expertise but I thought it would be good to get the word out about a new book that's available. The book is called Managing Your Supply Chain using Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 by Scott Hamilton. This is the third edition...

There was recently a very interesting blog post interview with Lachlan Cash, Senior Product Manager for Dynamics AX. This interview discusses the product SOA strategy, how it has evolved through the different product versions and how it continues to evolve...

When you use the AIF file adapter to process messages, you might think that the messages would be processed sequentially in the order they are submitted as determined by the file time stamp (even though the processing is asynchronous). But the file adapter...
